♫♫ Studio Facts ♫♫ About MEA Piano Studio is an independent piano studio in Northern Virginia. The studio is located in a professional office and offers lessons to students of ages and levels. Numerous non-competitive performance opportunities are available throughout the year for all students. Brand New Students Are Welcome Whether you are new to the whole piano "thing" or just the parent of a beginner or advanced student, MEA Piano Studio is a welcoming place. Feel to ask questions about practice expectations or about what kind of instrument to purchase. Anyone and Everyone Beginners and preschool students are welcome. As are advanced students and adults. Any level and any age. Basically anyone who wants to learn the piano is welcome at the studio. Extended Hours Families today are busy. MEA Piano Studio offers extended hours for families that need to fit piano into a busy schedule soccer games, dance lessons, and swimming practice. The studio offers piano lessons before school for those brave enough for the challenge. For others, lessons are also available on Saturdays and Sundays. Relaxed Environment Piano lessons should be fun. There is absolutely no reason why lessons should be a stressful experience, even for serious pianists. At MEA Piano Studio lessons are kept light and fun. Students often get to choose the pieces they want to learn and practice. And students learn real music from real composers, not method books. Professional Office Location Piano lessons take place in a professional office building. The studio is located just off Franconia Road, on Old Franconia Rd, in Alexandria, Va. Keyboards and Digital Pianos Are Okay The studio accepts students with keyboards. Although a keyboard is not the best musical instrument it is sufficient for the first six months to one year of piano lessons. Digital pianos are a great alternative to acoustic pianos and any model will do. An acoustic piano is not required. Lesson Length Lessons are 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes, depending on the student. Very young students normally start with only fifteen minute lessons. Older or advanced students have sixty minute lessons. Most students begin with thirty minute lessons and gradually expand to 60 minutes. Yearly Recital The studio has a yearly recital each June at Green Hedges School in Vienna, Va. The recitals are fun and students choose what the want to perform. Several students play trios and duets. And of course, there is the Awards Ceremony! Performance Opportunities There are many performance opportunities through out the year for students of all ages and levels. These events are all non-competitive, encouraging, and fun. A Degreed, Full-time Piano Instructor The owner and instructor has a degree in Music Composition from Radford University (a really great, small, and walkable school near Virginia Tech). She is a full-time piano instructor. And teaching piano is her only job. Less than Five Minutes From... The studio is less than five minutes from the Springfield Mall.
